Think of the world as an enormous swimming pool, and water as money.During the debt bubble, the swimming pool was filled with water to thebrim, and everyone could get as much water as he wanted. Then thefinancial crisis ten years ago burst the debt bubble and began todrain the pool, and there was less water available in the pool, sosome people couldn't get the water they wanted. But all the centralbanks began quantitative easing, which partially replaced some of thewater that had been lost from the financial crisis.

But now, quantitative easing has been ending, and there's far lesswater in the pool, and the pool is almost drained, and the only peoplewho can get any water are the elite, as well as pretty young girls whocan do makeup tutorials on youtube.

A YouTube channel -- that's a GREAT idea!!

How about if you take responsibility for setting up and managing theentire YouTube project. Set up the channel, do the marketing, sellthe ads, and pay yourself a percentage of the proceeds.

Let me know how it's going, and also let me know when you need inputfrom me.

Thanks for a GREAT idea!!

Oh MAN....!!!! <face palm!>

OK,.. I *will* think about it,.. but it REALLY ain't likely. <chuckle!>

..'though that little brain-fart regarding the MSF (Meowist Sinicization Force) is rather intriguing.

How much was Cassandra worth as a human being? She was ridiculed whenshe predicted the fall of Troy. After her predictions came true, shewas assaulted and raped. Then she became the slave and mistress ofthe Greek king Agamemnon. She warned Agamemnon that if they return toGreece then his wife, Clytemnestra, will kill them both. Agamemnondid not believe her and they returned to Greece, where Clytemnestrakilled them both.

So Cassandra was ALSO a completely worthless human being, whoaccomplished nothing that anyone valued.

The character flaw, as it were, of Cassandra was that she couldn't shut the hell UP!

YOU don't NEED to have that flaw. You may HAVE that flaw, I really don't know, but Cassy apparently didn't see that flaw in herself and spent her time flappin' her gums when she should have done nearly anything but what she did do.

So, don't be THAT Cassandra,.. be your own kind of Cassandra.

And I don't quite agree with you that she was a completely worthless human being, as she became a very long lasting object example/lesson of what NOT to do with information that nobody will believe, even though it's true info.

Didn't the freakin' gods actually TELL her that her predictions were both truly accurate AND unbelievable by others? They apparently didn't also tell her, explicitly, that she didn't NEED to talk about what she knew, and she apparently was not smart enough, or too "compassionate for those affected by her unbelievable info" to keep her big mouth SHUT and use the info in more "productive" ways.

She's proved to be of great value to you, and me, and several others, I imagine, as an example of what not to do.

So don't do that, and do something "more productive".

A young person like yourself can hope things will change for thebetter. An older person knows that age discrimination will onlyincrease, and things will only change for the worse.

I always like to tell people: No politician can stop what's coming,any more than they can stop a tsunami. You can't stop what's coming,but you can prepare for it. Treasure the time you have left, and useit to prepare yourself, your family, your community and your nation.

You'd better be VERY careful about how much you tell people aboutthe predictions on this web site. If you aren't, then you toocould turn into a completely worthless human being.
